Although I dont like music videos very much, most are pretentious and annoying. Really for video clips nothing would be better then just having footage of the band playing the song on stage like the Sultans of Swing video.

"True Faith" by New Order
"Jeremy" by Pearl Jam
"Street Spirit" & "Just" by Radiohead
"Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve

Bittersweet Symphony is pretty good, huh.... I love the way its their lead singer just walking down a street. Fantastic!

'Copperfield,' said Mr. Micawber, 'farewell! Every happiness and prosperity! If, in the progress of revolving years, I could persuade myself that my blighted destiny had been a warning to you, I should feel that I had not occupied another man's place in existence altogether in vain.
